The BATSUIT Thread

[-JKR-]

Lots of productions want to do a promotional image instead of on set photos leaking. That's the main reason I think something might be released soon, if it happens.

If that's the case they are probably going to keep Batman under wraps for a while. Otherwise, if they're planning any location shooting with Batman they'll likely release an official picture first.

I'd be criminal not to do some location shooting with Batman in Glasgow.

That's what I'm thinking.

That last one, I'm loving the cowl.

 

[Astro13Zombie]

I really really like that earth one style suit.

 

[Marvel united]

Love the first two. Just drop the panties and we'll be good

 

[Boy Scout]

I hate the nose on that cowl; the briefs are a no-no; and give that man an oval before Superman sues somebody.

Love those colors and those ears.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Yeah, that last manip (specifically the cowl) is really something.

Concept art from Justice League Mortal (WETA):

Any cowl that leaves the nose exposed, partial or otherwise, gets a no from me right off the bat. Put not intended.

 

[The Shape]

I'm okay with not seeing the suit for a long while. Would be amazing if they could somehow hold off until the first teaser drops.

 

[Invader Joker]

No, I do not want this thread to keep discussing the batsuit for another 10 months lol. The time is now.

 

[Micromind]

I hate the design of the cowl where nose is partially exposed.

Me too. And I don't think that a live action Batman should be this blue. It works better in comics and animation simply because it's the best way to render how lightning affects the black parts of Batman's suit.
The same way, reflections on black hair are often rendered by using blue, as well. Sometimes people take art way too literally and forget that there is an entire translation process when going from the drawn page to something real and that just because you CAN make something 1:1 the same, it doesn't mean you should or that it's the right way.

That ain't happening.

The top bat symbol is terrible. The shape of the crest, and shade of yellow makes it look like a construction helmet decal, or the logo for some brand of work boot:

I appreciate the first two being different but why does Batman need backpack straps?

 

[TheJumpMan4523]

Pretty cool except for the elbow pads, and the stupid undies outside of the pants. I mean why?!

Ding, ding. Blue in a live action real world Batman, is stupid. It originally was used as an accentuating color as you said for black on two dimensional images. People take the translation process with comic book characters way too literally

 

[TheJumpMan4523]

First time I'm seeing this, thought it was just really good CGI this whole time.

I literally wouldn’t mind a scowl sculpt like that, with that intricately detailed textures ... to literally look like a monster with all the facial features.

I think he looks frightening as hell in that scene.

Only difference is you would need to cut out the mouth hole for a more traditional mouth opening.

To carry his BatPack.

I like the mask-like cowl at least

 

[BattleAngel]

I like the mask-like cowl at least

It looks like it was sculpted from a mold of Nic Cage’s face. Definitely a fearsome sight.

 

[craigaat]

Yup. It's like half way between Big Daddy and the BB cowl.

 

[Micromind]

Don't want shoulder straps, reminds me of Captain America, and straps won't allow the cape to fully drape over the shoulders.

Dislike shoulder pads too. He looks like he's going to say "Avengers assemble" anytime.
